In a British Columbia Supreme Court decision on March 11, Justice Carol J. Ross found that the sale of a 70,000-hectare parcel of land from one forestry company to another adversely affected the rights and title of the Hupacasath First Nation of Vancouver Island.

The justice also found that there was a chance the Hupacasath people could suffer irreparable harm if the decision to remove the lands from the jurisdiction of the Forest Act and move them into the Private Forest Lands Management Act, as proposed by the province's minister of Forests, was allowed.

Dear Editor:

I write to you today from my homeland-Kamchatka-in need of your friendship and guidance. My people are struggling with environmental degradation and an underdeveloped legislative base that offers little support and recognition to Indigenous peoples.

Our beautiful volcanic land is a fish-shaped peninsula, and if you look at a map you will find a land that is situated north of Japan and west of Alaska. So, it is Russia, the Russian Far East.

Dear Editor:

I love the reserve, but how does one move on to make things easier for this generation and the ones after us when nothing is being done now?

Why is the bigger percentage of the population still trying to commit suicide or not finish school?

Dear Editor:

I am deeply saddened over the passing of John Paul II. I was raised a Catholic, but am a lapsed Catholic as I am a proud two-spirited First Nations man. Because of this, I am in conflict with the official church teachings on homosexuality.

I also stopped practicing because of all that was done to my Native people by the church in the name of God. But, underneath all of this, I still consider myself Catholic.
